Magazine Racks: Stylish Storage for Books and Magazines
Magazines, books, and newspapers easily pile up. On the coffee table, next to the armchair, or on the floor next to the bed. A magazine rack gives that pile a fixed, neat, and decoratively appealing place. It keeps everything organized, directly accessible, and at the same time is a charming piece of furniture that gives the room more character. At MooierThuis, you'll find magazine racks in all styles, materials, and designs, for the living room, study, and hall.
Magazine rack or bookcase: what fits best?
A magazine rack is more compact and specialized than a bookcase. It's ideal for a smaller, active collection of magazines, books, and newspapers that you use regularly and want to grab quickly. A bookcase is better for a larger, more permanent book collection. In most living rooms and reading nooks, both complement each other perfectly: a magazine rack next to the armchair for the current reading pile and a bookcase elsewhere in the room for the larger library.
Styles and materials
Magazine racks come in a wide variety of styles and materials for every interior:
Rattan or wicker magazine rack: warm, natural, and bohemian. Fits excellent in a Scandinavian, rural, or organic interior. Decoratively appealing even when the rack is empty. Particularly popular as an atmospheric accent next to an armchair or reading nook.
Metal magazine rack: sleek, modern, and durable. In matte black, gold, or silver, a metal rack suits an industrial, modern, or Scandinavian interior. The open, transparent character of metal wire gives an airy look that doesn't burden the space.
Wooden magazine rack: warm, timeless, and suitable for any interior. A wooden rack in oak, bamboo, or walnut suits a Scandinavian, rural, or warm modern interior. Solid wood is more durable than MDF and lasts for years.
Leather or faux leather magazine rack: elegant, unusual, and distinctive. A leather magazine rack has a luxurious, warm appearance that suits a modern luxury or eclectic interior.
Freestanding or wall-mounted: what do you choose?
Magazine racks come in two basic variants. A freestanding magazine rack stands on the floor next to the armchair, sofa, or desk and can be moved flexibly. It does take up floor space but has more capacity than a wall-mounted model. A wall-mounted magazine rack takes up no floor space and is ideal for smaller spaces or for use in the hall and bathroom where floor space is scarce. In a living room with sufficient space, a freestanding model is usually the most atmospheric and functional choice.
Styling a magazine rack: how to make it look its best
A magazine rack is most decorative when it's not overcrowded. Only keep the most recent or favorite magazines and books and regularly remove old issues. Rotate the magazines in the rack occasionally for a fresh look. Add a small artificial plant or a decorative object on top or the side if the model allows it. And consciously combine the rack with the other furniture and decorative elements in the reading nook for a complete and cohesive arrangement that connects the armchair and the magazine rack.

Frequently asked questions about magazine racks
How many magazines fit in a magazine rack?
The capacity varies greatly by model. Most standard magazine racks offer space for 5 to 15 magazines or a comparable amount of thin paperbacks. Models with multiple compartments or sections offer more capacity and more ability to separate different types of items. Check the dimensions of the compartments in the product specifications if you want to store specific, larger magazine formats.
Can a magazine rack also be used for books?
Yes, most magazine racks are also suitable for thin paperbacks and pocketbooks. Thick hardcovers sometimes fit less well due to the limited depth or width of the compartments. Always check the internal dimensions of the rack and compare them with the thickness of the books you want to store before ordering.
How do I maintain a rattan magazine rack?
Regularly remove dust with a soft brush or a dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth but avoid too much moisture on rattan. Treat the rattan a few times a year with a thin layer of rattan or furniture oil to nourish the material and prevent dryness or cracking. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the natural rattan.
